In another effort to offer Hip-Hop fans an eclectic roster to choose from, Duck Down Records has announced a new solo album deal with Cypress Hill frontman B-Real.

With the acquisition, B-Real becomes the latest big name to join the Duck Down family.

Pioneer KRS-One recently completed a collaboration album with Buckshot scheduled for release next year.

For the rest of 2008, Duck Down will release DJ Revolutions King of the Decks (September 16) and Heltah Skeltahs D.I.R.T. (Da Incredible Rap Team), the groups first album in 10 years.

Duck Down co-owner Dru Ha emphasized to AllHipHop.com that his labels vision is to maintain a strong, independent entity to showcase Hip-Hop music thriving away from the mainstream.

Adding another living legend in B-Real to our roster is really giving Duck Down a dream team lineup for independent Hip-Hop, Dru explained to AllHipHop.com. Buckshot and I have been strategic with our label partnerships mixing the right blend of emerging artists with proven veterans.

Another example of that vision is the breakout success of newcomers Kidz in the Hall, who recently filmed a video for their second single Love Hangover, featuring UK songbird Estelle.

Dru Ha details that a pending super-group project will push the label to bigger heights in 2009.
